Hello Parents!  I hope everybody enjoyed the two week holiday.  We just completed our first week back and it was good to see all those little faces again.  I want to remind you that First Holy Communion is Saturday, May 4th at St. Patrick's Church.  I know May seems far off but trust me it will be here before you know it.
